Reading UFO and books of the Graham Hancock type over the years,
I’ve often read of artifacts that defy explanation because they seem to be man
made but are found in a geological strata that defies the man made arguments.
The article below seems to fit very nicely in to the extraterrestrial category.
Grooved Sphere from South Africa, 2.8 Billion Years Old:
If extra-terrestrial beings do visit the Earth, they must have done so in the
past also, and the question is raised: are there any indication of possible
ancient visits by extra-terrestrial beings on Earth? The answer is,
surprisingly: yes, there are.
The “only issue” with the following article is that it appeared in a
sensationalist tabloid:
Over the past several decades, South African miners have found hundreds of
metallic spheres, at least one of which has three parallel grooves running
around its equator. The spheres are of two types – “one of solid bluish metal
with white flecks, and another which is a hollow ball filled with a white spongy
center.” Roelf Marx, curator of the museum of Klerksdorp, South Africa, where
some of the spheres are housed, said:
“The spheres are a complete mystery. They look man-made, yet at the time in
Earth’s history when they came to rest in this rock no intelligent life existed.
The globes are found in pyrophyllite, which is mined near the little town of
Ottosdal in the Western Transvaal. This pyrophyllite is a quite soft secondary
mineral with a count of only 3 on the Mohs’ scale and was formed by
sedimentation about 2.8 billion years ago. On the other hand the globes are very
hard and cannot be scratched, even by steel.”
“It also seems that the spheres are so delicately balanced that, even with
modern technology, they would need to have been made in zero gravity. The story
goes that scientists at NASA were totally flawed when they examined them, and
were unable to come up with any explanation.
The sphere with the three parallel grooves around it are too perfect to be
anything but man made. The Precambrian mineral deposit where the globes are
found is dated to be at least 2.8 billion years old. At this time simple
microscopic cells were all that was alive on the earth. But this is obviously
not true. Who created or left behind these magnificent spheres.
Obviously artificial, and stronger than steel, what was their purpose for the
people who visited and left them behind in time?
Here is a detailed analysis by a skeptic:
